2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Visibilitywindshield Problems

I WAS REMOVING MY SUNSHIELD FROM THE WINDSHIELD WHICH WAS IN BETWEEN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND WINDSHIELD. WHEN I REMOVED THE SUNSHIELD, THE WINDSHIELD LITERALLY CRUMBLED WHERE THE REVIEW MIRROR WAS ATTACHED AND THE REARVIEW MIRROR FELL OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD LEAVING A HOLE THE APPROXIMATE SIZE OF A .50 PIECE. THE REPAIR SERVICE THAT I USED STATED THAT THERE HAVE MANY MANY, MANY ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN WINDSHIELDS AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT WHAT I EXPERIENCED SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND NEXT DAY NOTICED AN EXTERIOR CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD FROM MIDDLE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE CENTER WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF IMPACT FROM A FOREIGN OBJECT. SIZE OF CRACK IS ABOUT 12"-17". *JS

I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM DAVIS-MOORE IN WICHITA, KANSAS ON JUNE 27, 2014. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED IN JANUARY BECAUSE OF A "STRESS FRACTURE CRACK." THAT WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN EARLY APRIL (AT LEAST EIGHTEEN INCHES) BUT DEALER SAYS IT IS FROM A ROCK CHIP, SO THEY WON'T REPLACE. THE ROCK CHIP THEY CLAIM CAUSED THE CRACK IS BARELY DETECTABLE. I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE IN THE EVENING, IT TURNED COLD OVERNIGHT, AND THE NEXT MORNING THE CRACK WAS THERE. *TR

NISSAN SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL! I HAVE A BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA (LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OLD) AND I WAS AT A DRIVE THRU WAITING FOR MY FOOD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE CRACK IS VERY LARGE AND IT'S ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BY THE PASSENGER SEAT. NOTHING EVEN HIT THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE IT TO CRACK AND I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED TO CONFIRM THAT. I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO REPLACE A WINDSHIELD OF A CAR I JUST BOUGHT LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO. I'M ACTUALLY SCARED TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IF YOU GOOGLE "ALTIMA WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON" YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM ALTIMA OWNERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF...

DEAR NHTSA, PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF THE WINDSHIELDS ON 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA'S ARE DEFECTIVE IN NATURE. THAT IS, DO THESE WINDSHIELDS HAVE A PROPENSITY TO EASILY CRACK POSSIBLY DUE TO WEAKNESS OR DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING? OUR BRAND NEW ALTIMA WHICH HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES SUFFERED A CRACK WINDSHIELD PASSENGER SIDE. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE ALSO REPORTED SIMILAR INCIDENCES, SEE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2013/WINDOWS_WINDSHIELD/WINDSHIELD_CRACKED.SHTML THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND COULD BE A RESULT OF A WEAK WINDSHIELD, PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR
